Tee shirt Ideas
Hi fellow DUers,
I am a screenprinter in my off time in the construction trades.

I was at a wrestling tourny for my kids yesterday and was checking out everyones tee shirts and an idea poped into my head.

I want to make up some Tee shirts and need some catchy sayings .

I like Bush Cheated 2004 I`ve seen it around anyone know the owner of the original artwork ? I think these would look awesome on the front or back.

I can produce alot of these at a very low cost, I do it out of my house. If I do a 2 or 3 color design one side of shirt I can probably do them for about $4 dollars a piece.

I think if theres one way for publics attention its a BRIGHT tee that screams out your message.

Posting the tees on someone web would help spread the word too.

Anyone willing to help me out on getting a web with an order page ?

2. bush cheated is the work of rosebud57
Edited on Sun Jan-09-05 11:08 AM by Straight Shooter
Edit: I just PM'd rosebud57 and gave her this thread link for her to follow up on your request.

You don't need a web page, just go to http://www.cafepress.com and start from there. I can't give you instructions how to set up over there because I've never done it, but that's where a lot of people sell their wares. Cafe Press handles all the billing and et cetera, I think. Your price would have to be higher, but for a t-shirt the going price is at least $15 anyway.

Good luck. :thumbsup:

5. But a cheap tee to me is super cool. 4 for the tee and 4 for shipping is
what I always wanted to do. Just haven't had the $ to set it all up.
And do sell childrens sizes. I think thats an untapped market.

3. I may be the first person who made a high res version for printing but...
I actually saw a small version in some DUers sig. If you do BUSH CHEATED you may want to get a Bush Cheney bumpersticker to scan. I had to use a web image and when I resampled the image to 300 dpi the Bush part has jagged edges.

I of course perfer to remain totally anonymous, I have no interest in being shipped to Gitmo...

I also like the little rhyme I wrote for GWB is a PAB version 2.0

Computers count the votes so no one can see
They claim Bush won, I say prove it to me

8. I can remake this with my drawing program
so thats not a problem

I was just wondering if I couls use the artwork

I`ll be sure to send you a few Tees free of charge of course

I`m not looking to make money on these. As you can see by the price I will offer them for. I just want to expose bush to the public as much as possible.

12. Sure it's just a Bush/Cheney o4 bumpersticker with CHEATED instead
of Cheney.

4. Though tempting, avoid the negative and avoid bitching... be proactive.

How about PAPERLESS VOTING ENDANGERS DEMOCRACY or something like that. And then, maybe direct them to a website which is writteN in smaller text at the bottom. This website could be a one page with links and the basic voting issues spelled out.

PAPERLESS
VOTING
ENDANGERS
DEMOCRACY

I'd be happy to help with the text/links. I think its important not to overwhelm people with data and links KISS. (Keep it simple stupid)

16. Slogans for shirts - humor is the way to go
I've been working on this for some time. Three of these are all mine, the fourth adapted from a posting I saw on the web. I use them for posters in demonstrations and cards to politicians.

CSI:
OhiO
Who poisoned the ballots?
Don’t let this become a COLD CASE.

Ohio: Ukraine without the poison.

Kiev wasn’t chicken. You shouldn’t be either. Challenge USA’s fraudulent election.

No red states, no blue states, 50 orange states.

In my own everyday life, I'm wearing an orange scarf to signal my belief that we should get a re-vote like the Ukraine did. If large numbers of people started showing up everywhere wearing orange, it could be like the long hair and distinctive clothes we wore as hippies. Tiny orange ribbons are good, but not enough. I want Republicans to feel surrounded by people who know about the fraud, and to remind everyone that Bush has no mandate and should be thwarted when he takes egregious actions like nominating a supporter of torture to be Attorney General.

32. These are GREAT !!!
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 08:03 PM by liberalla
triolet -

Bravo! Great ideas! I love them! May I borrow them? I'd be glad to give you credit.
I can't PM or email you, so please reply here, or email me at liberalla@yahoo.com.
They'd make great postcards and protest signs, maybe even T-shirts. Very original.

Thanks for posting this!

6. BUSH CHEATED should be our sore loserman...
As far as I'm concerned it is in the public domain as it is a parody of the Bush/Cheney 04 bumpersticker.

I say prove it to me

I like that one because it rhymes and it fits all categories of voting systems in use in the US.

DREs had almost nothing to do with the fraud in OH, as 70% of the votes were punch card, not paperless, yet still counted by secret software developed by private comapnies that favor the GOP.

14. tee shirt ideas
Have you ever gone to the site
http://www.freewayblogger.com/
They are signs that people put up to make people aware of what's going on. There's one over an overpass that reads fraud with a box checked next to it, I don't think the slogans are copyrighted since they're anonymous, One says "I attacked America on 9/11 and all I got was away with it." Osama Bin Laden
and one reads Osama Bin Forgotten to keep people aware of the problems regarding terrorism

Dems would only have a dry cleaning bill

23. Yeah well.
Diebold only counted the vote in about two of the counties in Ohio, so even they are a lovely poster child for everything that's wrong with vote counting, they are not the ultimate problem in Ohio.

(PS If you use one of these, I'd LOVE a long-sleeve t-shirt!)


If I can't trust you to count my vote,
why should I trust you with my tax dollars?


Ditch optical scam, punch-a-cad, or touch-n-steal elections.
NO MORE MOCK ELECTIONS! The People Demand Paper Ballots!

(the Mock Elections could be in a circle with a slash)


Flipped electrons + flopped chads =/= a mandate


No one can claim victory in a contest when the score-keeping system was broken.


Dictatorship veiled in a flag and propped up by mock elections is not pretty.

20. i don't know where it came from, but i like what i wrote on my sign in DC
it said 'We're not fooled by election fraud'.

a shirt could say "i'm not fooled by election fraud". this could go on the back of a shirt, maybe the front could have the 'bush cheated' logo.

21. How about using Jesse Jackson Jr."s words from the 6th
"It is not about Republicans, but our Republic"
"It is not about Democrats, but our Democracy."
It could say that on the front and the back could say
"Election Reform Now" or something like that.

Or you could put the Dems saying on front, with Election Reform under it,then put the Repubs saying on back with Election Reform under it too.

24. also, Rev. Jesse Jackson's words --
"We can live with winning and losing. We cannot live with fraud and stealing," -- Jesse Jackson, November 28, 2004 at Mount Hermon Baptist Church in Columbus, Ohio.
"We cannot be the home of the thief and the land of the slave."

...frames the debate, since it assumes they're hiding something in the first place. In-your-face, but not rude.
